Off the line, the F-TYPE P300 hits 100 km/h in 5.63 s versus 5.81 s for the Model 3 Standard Range Plus. Despite lacking instant torque, 300 hp of power compensates. Despite the faster sprint time, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus is 5 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the F-TYPE P300 is doing 140 km/h against 129 km/h for the Model 3 Standard Range Plus. The gap is 0.06 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the F-TYPE P300 crosses the line in 13.69 s versus 14.26 s. The 0.57 s gap represents roughly 24 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the F-TYPE P300 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 197 km/h versus 171 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-TYPE P300 finishes in 24.35 s versus 26.61 s, with a 2.26 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-TYPE P300 is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus at 225 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.43 seconds. The 0.18 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
